One thing I suspect grandpa and I can agree on is the very strong proclivity of BOTH parties to pander to voters by giving away our hard earned tax dollars. There was once a time when the republicans seemed to do les of this than the Dems. But in recent times I see no difference, except in which groups they choose to pander to. They both squander our money to buy our votes. It is an ugly situation – perhaps the largest flaw in democracy.

One thing Salma and I agree on is we sport fishers will never wrest our share away from the greedy commercials as long as they are organized and buy politicians of both parties and we continue to bicker amongst ourselves. If we could only, somehow unite and form a solid political lobbing organization we might have a chance. Sadly, I see no chance of this happening.
